Toast My Curry
All good things start with a food truck – or at least that’s what happened at Toast My Curry. After a successful bout as a food truck dishing out delicious naan toasties filled with curry, Toast My Curry has branched into its own spot in Yagan Square further reigning their title as the best Indian eatery in Perth. Their aim is seamlessly feel-good as it is delicious. Putting it simply: for every toastie bought, a meal is then donated to children in Indian slums as part of their Curry4Curry program. Bouncing around to different markets around Perth, for something more stable, you definitely won’t miss them at their home in Perth’s CBD.

Annalakshmi
Annalakshmi is a gorgeous restaurant on the Barrack Square jetty that lives by one Hindu concept: ‘Guest is God’. This ancient concept follows the principle that God comes in the form of a guest in your home and it is your duty to feed that guest until they are satisfied. Aiming to do just that, this restaurant serves up a buffet selection of different Indian foods. Annalakshmi works on a ‘pay what your heart feels’ system where you decide how much you want to pay at the end of the meal and donates your contributions help to provide a meal to those in need. Annalakshmi is a vegetarian-based restaurant but it should not be underestimated as it is a venue that leaves you full of a hearty and wholesome meal.
